CSU Monitoring and Evaluation of Sports

We want everyone, every athlete and the Sports & Physical Education Office (SPEO) in the university to focus on results.
We want to:

• Help projects continually improve what they do;
• Help our Caraga Region and sports lead bodies to track strategic progress more clearly; and Show the value of sport to community.
• To achieve this we want to support all our funded projects to introduce effective management information (or monitoring) systems. This will have several benefits…

For projects:

• To find out what works and what doesn’t.
• To show that you should get future funding.
• To report to our communities.
• To provide aftercare to our school.
• To keep focused to our purpose.

For Sport Caraga Regions:

• To report to communities.
• To identify when projects need help.
• To inform future strategic plans.
• To decide what sort of projects to fund in the future.

For Sport CSU

• To measure true impact and results.
• To report accurately to the Sports and Physical Education Office (SPEO).
• To report accurately to the wider public.
• To persuade the Treasury to fund more sports and physical activity.

A project focused approach
If we help projects introduce systems that they find useful, the rest will follow. So we are providing support to projects to monitor in ways that suit them – rather than imposing a monitoring regime from above.

Prospective Athletes Evaluation
Proposal must include a plan to monitor and evaluate the projects success, both as the activities unfold and at the end of the program.  The procedure and forms utilized to make academic evaluations of prospects should be reviewed.  A revised procedure should be implemented so that records can be maintained for each prospect and each program for summary, evaluation and reporting purposes:
Successful monitoring and evaluation depend heavily on setting clear goals and outcomes at the outset of a program.  Your evaluation plan should included the following:

Athlete’s participant satisfaction with the program and exchange experience.
Institutional changes, such as increased collaboration and partnership, policy reforms, new programming, and organizational improvements.
